Committee D02 on Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels and Lubricants will provide a forum to discuss the process of developing a new or existing specification from concept to successful completion using a consensus standards development process
utilized by ASTM International. As a part of this discussion, forum moderators will guide a panel of experienced consensus specification navigators as the panel members provide an initial brief history of their process, providing examples of how they have navigated through the specification route. These experienced standards developers will also serve as focal points for expert counsel during the general discussion. This forum will not be a debate on the merits of the ASTM International consensus standards development process, or the merits of one specific product or specification. Rather, it is being conducted to assist members who would like to better understand how the process might be navigated successfully.

This orientation will include an overview of ASTM and the organization and structure of D02. Learn about your role and responsibilities as a new D02 member. There will be an opportunity to ask questions. All members, especially new members
and visitors, are encouraged to attend. The orientation will be presented by James Simnick, Committee D02 First Vice-Chairman.

This workshop will provide a demonstration of ASTM's new petroleum training videos, topics to be discussed include the selection process, how the videos are produced, the review process, and how the videos can be accessed. The workshop will be presented by David von Glahn, Director, Training and E-Learning.

This module is designed to familiarize members with the ILS Program, its features, benefits, capabilities, and the online registration process. You will be guided through a complete ILS registration, highlighting the information that will be requested in the process. Research Reports will also be specifically addressed during the session. This program will benefit anyone planning to run (or participate in) an interlaboratory. Presented by Phillip Godorov and Caitlin Farrell, ASTM ILS Staff.

To complement the ILS Workshops, several ILS Q&A sessions have been planned with ASTM ILS Staff. Please drop by and ask questions about your current or upcoming interlaboratory studies. These sessions are open to all, and while appointments can be made, they are not required.
